# FEMA Awards $24M Disaster Resilience Grants in Region 3

FEMA has awarded over **$24 million** in grant funding to support disaster resilience and mitigation projects across Region 3, which includes Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia. The funding, announced on September 18, 2026, allocates more than $23 million to pre-disaster mitigation infrastructure improvements and over $1 million to floodplain management practices under the Community Assistance Program. These grants align with federal resilience strategies and provide state and local agencies with resources to enhance disaster preparedness and reduce future risks.

- **Why this matters:** Procurement professionals and contractors specializing in infrastructure, environmental engineering, and floodplain management should consider opportunities arising from these federally funded resilience projects.
- The focus on pre-disaster mitigation indicates increased demand for construction, engineering, and consulting services aimed at strengthening critical infrastructure.
- Organizations serving Region 3 states can leverage this funding to support local government initiatives and expand their footprint in disaster risk reduction programs.
- Contact information for FEMA Region 3 Office of External Affairs is available for inquiries related to grant implementation and partnership opportunities.
